Stranded Seafarers: Navigating Danger in the Strait of Hormuz

Indian seafarers find themselves stranded on ships near the Strait of Hormuz as the conflict in Iran escalates. Ankit Yadav, alongside other seafarers, survives on minimal food supplies, awaiting repatriation.

The blockade imposed by the U.S. Navy has left ships immobile, exacerbating the plight of maritime workers dependent on permissions and government aid to escape.

Security concerns grow among seafarers, India being a top supplier in the industry, as attacks increase. Efforts by India's shipping ministry have repatriated many, yet danger persists amid ongoing military actions.
